1. Takashi Matsushita On behalf of IC/Brunel team t.matsushita@imperial.ac.uk Imperial College T. Matsushita 1 Preparation for station five Construction/bundling/connectorisation

2. T. Matsushita 2 Bundling New comb ready: Comb in use Fibres trimmed on rubber sheet with cutter knife: - align centre fibre on horizontal white line - trim fibres along vertical white line QA image for one connector (# of fibres in a bundle) Cut surface Polished surface

3. T. Matsushita 3 Connectorisation Bridge ready: Bridge in use Fibre radius guide during connectorisation QA image for one connector (# of fibres in a hole)

4. T. Matsushita 4 Check sheet – in preparation

5. T. Matsushita 5 Light source LED survey finished: EG-5UV405-15 from ETG Inc. - Peak 405 nm, range 400-410 nm - 12 mW output now in hand. Optics: - spherical lens for collimation is ready - cylinder lens for focusing is ready - preparing mount for lens - needs mechanical slits

6. T. Matsushita 6 Mechanical Connector: patch-panel connector for external waveguide revised to have gland URGENT: - go-nogo gauge to be made - station connectors to be made Carbon-fibre station - needs to be machined for connector holes Doublet-layer - want the first doublet-layer as soon as it is ready so that we can start work during manufacturing of the second/third doublet-layers. That’s all!
